    FBO plate over advancing

    I've worn out the search bar to the point where I'm seeing the same posts over and over, not finding much chatter about this issue, so it's safe to say I messed up somewhere. 318 w/ vac advance, eddy 1406, mild cam with original springs, headers, 2.5" exhaust w/ mufflers, 727, 3.73 rear...

    spring rate and shocks

    Im in the market for new T bars and shocks. Occasional autox. I'm in the air between the firm feel 1.12 and 1.18 bars. and this leads me to a question. The larger the T bar, the greater the spring rate. when I change T bars, what values or properties in my shocks should I address.
